Our Journey So Far
The RYSET story commenced in 1933 when Fred and Tom Ryan established F&T RYAN BROS to manufacture knives for the footwear trade. By the early 60s, we made our first secateurs and horticultural knives to service the dried fruit, apple and wine industries and the RYSET brand was coined as an abbreviation of RYANS SECATUERS.
We continued to service the footwear sector through the last half of the 20th century making steel toecaps for iconic Australian brands such as Blundstones, Steel Blue and Redback. Our strength has always been our skill in working heat treated steels. While the Australian footwear sector declined through the turn of the millennium, our horticultural sector grew from strength to strength and RYSET grew with it.
Today we are a fourth generation family business with a strong focus on the future of the Australian horticulture industry. Our objective is to provide a complete range of tools to service the full gamut of the horticulture in Australia. From home gardens to large vineyards, from broccoli growers to blueberry nurseries, from the Huon Valley to the Atherton tablelands, from grafting knives to bird scarers, we offer a comprehensive range of tools and accessories to suit the diverse needs of this country.
Feel free to browse our catalogue and make enquiries about the suitability of various products for your specific needs. We remind you, that we are a wholesale distributor and do not sell direct to the public or growers. All our sales are through our retail network of farm supply stores, hardwares, nurseries and online traders.
